As much as I'd LOVE to score a nice 500 gallon, or even 300 gallon. My local craigslist and even the ones close to me are crap and never turn up any good deals on tanks, just 125s for $600 each. And the vast majority of my local fish stores are incredibly overpriced on tanks. My favorite LFS and the the one with amazingly good prices is closed for a month or two because one of the owners was stealing money which needs to be tracked down to get the bills paid so the store can get running again. I've looked at glass cages but they're to expensive after you account for delivery and I'm not driving to TN for a tank I'm already paying over a grand for. So where do you guys get your big tanks for good prices at?

I used to get mine built locally, I new quite a few people in the trade throughout the UK so that helped, I'm sure someone in your area will build them.

Probably either gonna have to be patient and wait for something to come available or shell out the cash. Glass cages will deliver to a distribution point for something like 100 bucks call them. There shipping door to door is insane.

Yeah, Craiglist is not great for monster tanks. In Philadelphia it rarely has anything larger than 180-300 gallons. I would build a plywood tank if I wanted anything larger than 300.
